er- North East based model

What is your name and where are you based? Hi I ' m Stacey Louise and I am Based in County Durham, North East.
How did you get into modelling and how long have you been doing it? I was contacted by a photographer to do some modelling in 2009 then more recently got back into it.
What types of modelling do you do? i. e glamour, fashion, pinup, etc I currently do fashion, lingerie and glamour modelling.
Have you modelled for any well known brands or names? I haven ' t but fingers crossed for the future.
Do you prefer working on location or in a studio? I ' ve done more studio than location and location can be tricky for wardrobe changes so I would have to say studio.
What do your friends and family think of you being a model? My husband doesn ' t mind what I do which is the main thing for me and he enjoys seeing all the pictures after a shoot.
What is the furthest place you have travelled for a shoot? I haven ' t had to travel too far yet, all of my shoots have been based near to me.
What preparations do you do before a shoot? I always prepare for my shoots the night before. I try on outfits and shoes so I know what looks good together, I wash my hair ready for styling the next day, I always apply fake tan as I have very pale skin and I will either apply nail extensions or nail varnish.
What do you think makes a good model? I personally think to be a good model you have to be reliable, fun and professional. I like to go on a shoot and enjoy myself, yes I ' m there to do a job and get the shots the photographer wants but I like to put my own ideas into a shoot and get the shots I want too.
